I misphrased my question. Total is 5 for one parent (1p+4t), but searching this thread and the previous one, I couldn't find how many identical doppelgänger I can add (as in same info for all) if I am the only player? (i.e. no teens or "teens") Still same answer?
Thanks
Thanks

I have a friend who I imagine would be willing to let me use her address
Can I use my same name, ss# etc if I open a new account with a different address or is that a path to getting the whole thing sunk for me
Following the thread for months and perusing it again using specific searches I could not find any data points on this

YES, you can have 5 teens under one adult account all at the same address. Have done this for 3 mos now; no issues.
AND YES, some of the teens can be the same as the adult, AND YES some teens can have the same name, SSN, etc as other teens. BUT you must have a unique USER ID for EACH entity.
AND do not use a fake SSN or DOB. Just asking for unnecessary attention.

NW Buxx - how often change funding CC?
I have not seen good data on this - how many times/month can I change my 2 funding credit cards on NW Buxx?
I have changed them at least 4 times in the first month, with no issue, but normally do not change them more than once/mo.
Any experience with issues out there?

I have two addresses with two accounts using only 1 SSN. Total cards are 6 which I have been using on and off for the past 6 months. I just need to remind myself to set the auto-reload.

Do ATM withdrawals count toward the 800, or are charges and ATM separate quotas?

Just starting with one card, can anyone give me a consistent load / unload pattern that they use to maximize the process with the framework of the load / unload rules. I already know how I am going to unload, I am just looking for a consistent process to make things easier. Thanks!

Or you can manually set it up to load on the 1st and manually set it up to load on the 8th.

There was 3rd card on the account that didn't pass SSN verification check. They initially closed this card only. I couldn't get a refund for it for a long time, so I filed a chargeback. I assume this combination resulted in account closure.
They did let me to open 2nd account, but I have yet to receive the new card. That's why I'm trying to avoid going chargeback route.

Have two Buxx cards working fine for a few weeks. Tried to add a 3rd teen today and got an error message " a limit violation has occurred". Does the rolling 7 and 30 days apply to all cards combined or is each card separate? Asking because it's hard to have a limit reached on a new card that is just being set with an initial $500.
